My son knew I always collected old money, wheat heads, Buffalo's and so on. He sent some Afghan made jewelry home to my wife and Daughter and Grand Daughter. But the Icing on the cake is the old money he collected for face value over there

1. Is a 1873 silver trade dollar coin.

2. One troy once silver trade unit. (no Date)

3. One Liberty Mercury head one ounce fine silver coin (no date)

4. One 1799 coin. Looks and is the same size as all the silver dollar ones but has no denomination value on it.

5. One 1856 silver dollar.

6. One 1925 Liberty silver dollar.

7. One Afghan coin about the size of a American quarter. Looks like new manufacture.

8. A whole bunch of 10000, 50000, 1000, and 500 Afghans. SO I know its Afghan money but have no idea of value of any of this. But since it came from him it looks like a life long keeper to me.

wow! I just checked the exchange rate on the Afghanistan money or the Afghanis he sent home. There is $277.78 in American money . Just going by the value of silver not the collectors value of the silver dollars there is about $110.00 worth of silver. Hum! where has his fingers been?????????????????????????????????????? This is new money.

Those are some amazing finds. I agree with the comment of it's not what it's worth but where it came from. _________________ Don't whine how bad your country is until you live in another.

Just for grins take the coins to the coin shop and have an expert look at them. Many of the trade dollars found overseas are counterfeit. Counterfeits may be made of silver but not the quality (silver content) of original Trade Dollars.
If these coins happen to be counterfeit you should advise your son to slow down on his acquisitions unless he has a friend over there that is a coin collector in the know. I hate to see our service men being taken to the cleaners on bad currency.
If you don't have a coin shop handy buy a copy of the "Red Book of Coin Values". The book is cheap and loaded with info.

Sounds great . My brothers and I had a good find like that 3 years ago . When my great uncle died we inherited a old shack and 3 acres of land next to ours. In the shack were wheat head pennys , 1880s pennys , nickels, and quarters . _________________ Molon labe! Service, honor and courage, without these a warrior is nothing.

If he got it for face value, not market value for the silver, I think he must have done alright, counterfit or not. Smile

As for where his fingers have been, I'm sure there is no Walmart or similar for him to spend his money at over there. Wink
